On Monday's (January 14) Good Morning America, the newsanchor appeared to disclose that her doctors have given her permission to begin working.

"I'm coming home," Roberts revealed, adding: "It's a matter of weeks, not months [until I'm back on the air]."

She continued: "My last bone marrow aspiration showed no abnormalities – praise God. What all this means is, doctors were waiting for this information so that I can began the process of returning to the anchor chair."

Roberts went on to tell George Stephanopoulos that she will begin a "dry run" at Good Morning America next week, with a full-scale return to the airwaves coming soon after.

"I haven't been live on television since August," she recalled. "My heart is beating so fast right now, but it means that I am alive. I am so grateful to be as inspired as I am. I can't wait 'til I get back."

The journalist has worked on Good Morning America since 1995, first as a feature correspondent and later as an anchor.

Roberts developed MDS as a result of her treatment for breast cancer in 2007.
